Talking Myself Into My Desired Future is an inspirational Christian Living work written by Dr. Stephanie L. Foster. Dr. Foster served in the U.S. Army for over 25 years and attained the rank of Colonel before making the decision to retire. She discusses her decision to retire in light of her own happiness and her and her family's well-being, as well as the considerations and stresses that an advanced rank in the military would mean. Her success with a community outreach program, which involved science education, greatly influenced her decision to see a different future for herself. Dr. Foster took a step that many in the military fear - retirement - but she did so without trepidation as she found the support and spiritual resources she would need in the Bible.

Dr. Foster's inspirational Christian Living book, Talking Myself Into My Desired Future, is a well-written, positive and self-affirming guide. I enjoyed reading her story and found myself applauding her decision to follow her heart and her faith. Dr. Foster fills this work with marvelous passages from the Bible that show how God is supportive of His children and explains how she personally connected with Ruth's story. I was impressed by the amount of guidance she gives to those who are not that familiar with the Bible, especially those positive and life-affirming sections, and appreciated her suggestions for approaching Bible study. Dr. Foster also gives prompts and suggestions for achieving goals that are easily incorporated into daily life. Talking Myself Into My Desired Future is filled with all you need to know about working on your own desired future, and it's highly recommended.
